P.K. 14 Coming to Time Beacon | P.K. 14 @灯塔音乐

P.K. 14, the “elder statesmen of the Beijing rock scene”, are on tour and are making a stop in Ningbo!

Founded in Nanjing in 1997, P.K. 14 made their big-stage performance debut in their hometown in December of that year. They then moved to Beijing, where they quickly became the hottest band in the city, leaving their mark for years to come. Today, only frontman Haisong Yang remains from the band’s original line-up, and he is generally considered to be the epitome of P.K. 14 with his aesthetic approach to art and music. As one of China’s better-known young poets, Yang’s lyrics, predominantly about China’s disaffected urban youth, have been a driving force for the band’s style, something that has made them, arguably, one of the best post-punk bands in China.

Gearing up for a new album coming out later this year, P.K. 14 is hitting up 14 Chinese cities, and their next stop will be Ningbo’s Time Beacon Live House this coming Monday. So, if you want to hear the band that made it onto Time magazine’s 2001 list of top Asian bands, then be sure to hit up Mr. Box on June 12th to see what all the fuss is about.
